3/16 weekly assignment

In the video, provided by my teacher, the speaker gives her viewers a life lesson in public speaking. She gives amazing techniques to practice and use while publicly speaking. Her first lesson was to be prepared, to know the information we are presenting on backwards and forwards. We need to know, as presenters, how we are going to present the information step by step. Next, she talks about physicality and posture. It is bad to stand too erect or slouched over. Relax while you are speaking, you look more confident while presenting and its more believable. The final point was to make sure you have the audiences attention.

I will incorporate this useful information in many ways. To start off, I will prepare by practicing the presentation on my family members or anyone who's willing to listen. I will also write down my ideas and put them in logical order, just as the speaker in the video suggested. I will hook the audience with my intro, give them supporting evidence , and end with a powerful conclusion. As I practice my presentation, I will watch my posture and movements to make sure I am not moving or distracting the audience in any way. As I present my project to my relevant group, I will throw in a few jokes or punch lines to keep their attention and give them a laugh. I can use the tips given to me today, while public speaking throughout my life.
